Lee Foster’s CD-ROM ‘Book’ of 1993
Wondering where the independent publishing revolution is headed in the new year of 2016? Longtime BAIPA member Lee Foster has written an intriguing post on his website, describing many aspects of this revolution in publishing that have occurred here in the Bay Area. Lee was in fact one of the pioneers on the front lines.
Moments in the Electronic Publishing Revolution: A Participant’s Journey
An image expressing our ever-changing times is on the cover of Lee’s CD-ROM travel guidebook from 1993, California Travel. This “product” had 1,000 photos accompanying the text, a feat that had never been possible in the “print” era up to that time. Lee’s latest book, focused on the current “self-publishing” trend, is An Author’s Perspective on Independent Publishing: Why Self-Publishing May be Your Best Option.

One of my favorite things about BAIPA is its culture of generosity, the willingness — even eagerness — to share what we have each learned in the process of bringing stories to life. We provide educational programs, networking, marketing opportunities, encouragement, and information on industry vendors and services. And lots of one-on-one advice and mentoring.
We welcome all who have an interest in making connections within the world of independent publishing and learning more about how to publish and sell their work successfully. Together we are raising the standard of independent publishing and helping our members thrive.
Do join us!
